She doesn't care who Amy is or why she's there. All she cares about is Amy leaving because she can't get her marriage back on track as long as Amy is there.

Paige is angry at Kevin for twisting her words. She remembered his dream and how comforting he said it was. All she was trying to do was help Christina. Kevin can't believe her. He heard her tell Christina that it was okay to die and to not be afraid. Kevin tells Paige that Lucy has a gut feeling about her. Paige puts that down to Lucy not liking her because she and Kevin were loves. Kevin denies that is the reason, and he's beginning to believe Lucy.

Jack approaches Jamal at the bar. Jack is watching Jamal's back because someone has to. Jamal is working the cons like he's supposed to. It's his life, and as far as he's concerned, his life with Ali was just a fantasy. Jack thinks trying to con a guy that's connected to the mob is not smart. Jamal is just aggravated that he has to find a new way to make money. Jack suggests the bike shop, but Jamal considers it to be part of his old life. Jamal tells Jack to go talk to his screwed up brother because he might want help. After Jamal storms out, Jack walks over to Chris, who notices how down Jack is. Chris is worried about a friend, too, and he asks Jack to take a look at the picture of Amy. Jack can get a clear image of the guy standing behind Amy if he can get it on a computer and work on the image. Chris hands Jack his credit card and tells him to go get whatever he needs to find out who the guy in the picture is.

Ricky announces that he borrowed the limo and he's taking them to the airport. Everyone waves goodbye except Jamal, who is sitting at the bar alone drinking.

Even though it's eating Paige up inside, she can't tell Kevin the truth. Kevin moves back to Christina's bed and covers her. Paige begs him to believe that she can't tell him what happened or where she's going. Kevin's tired of hearing it. He'll never know and he no longer cares. He doesn't want her anywhere near him, Christina, or Lucy so she can't misunderstand him or his intentions. All Paige ever wanted was to love him, but all he knows is that she doesn't love him enough to tell him the truth. Paige promises him that he'd never believe her, but all he wants is for her to leave. Crying, Paige leaves the room. Kneeling beside Christina, Kevin holds her hands and strokes her hair.

Ian begins to tell Eve that he and Amy were just talking, but Eve doesn't care anymore. Eve came back to tell him that she loves him. She thought she could give him the answer he wanted, that they could make it work. Seeing where she's going, Ian begs her not to. Eve is convinced that they have to stop fooling themselves. Every time she sees him she thinks they can do it, but when one says or does something wrong, the anger takes over. It's not supposed to be like this and they need to stop fooling themselves.
